i'm so annoyed my teams the best in the league yet i'm down in 9th position just got knocked out of cl to a way weaker team and i'll be out of the cup soon. my whole team is scouts yet they can't even score goals this season at all. i'm getting sick of top eleven i've already lost over 10 games this season its a joke and I think I may just quit and play something else that maybe isn't as fancy as this but atleast the engine is fair and works properly. fcuk u

I have the same situation - best team in the league, full of scouts, 9th place in the League, out from Cup, out from Champions League. I can't score, no matter what. Nice game.

Here are screenshots to illustrate how very overpowered the 4-4-2 classic is. It includes a cup match and my friends match. In the cup match, a player of the guy playing 4-4-2 was injured and never replaced and he still went on to win even though the opponent was using 4-5-1V, a known counter.
My friends game is indeed lol. His players were 4* and opponents players were 1-2*. No matter what he was supposed to win. My friend played 4-1-3W-2 and, well, he lost why??? Becoz the opponent was playing 4-4-2!!!!
U DECIDE!!!!!

My friends game, he is the guy who lost- His team comparison to his opponent is also given in 3 pics











The other cup game in which a weaker team lost with a player less

Thing is, your friend was playing 4-1-3-2 which is very defence minded. I would have expected a team that is superior on paper (As your friend was) to be attacking the game. It seems silly that a team that is so much better would play defensive? - If he had played 3-5-2 he would have won, I'm sure. Also you have to remember that the 4-4-2 is obviously a great formation as so many clubs use it. If i am playing a lower opposition i will always attack them hard and try to end the game in the first half.

4-1-3-2 is not very defense minded. it is the same as 4-4-2 with a bit more defense and it happens to be the formation du jour in the EPL, so hardly very defensive. butterfly beats it. I wouldnt go 3 at the back if its 4-1-3wide-2, but 4-1-3narrow-2 I would go 4-5-1V. Geez
